The horticulturists experimented with germinating a range of daises from seed, and chose those with better seed viability and germination. A range of treatments (dry heat, smoke, none) were used to germinate the seeds.

The proposal for the 2009 – 2010 growing season is to trial direct sowing of the daisies into seed beds with differing densities and sowing dates.

Supplementing the direct sown daisies will be a display of daisies grown from seed in the nursery. There will be fewer plants than in the 2008 – 2009 season, but the plants will be more advanced in size.
